Greatest Rock Drummers

Correction..my mistake, I apologize..confusion of this old timer. Concerts West was founded by Seattle's Pat O'Day, who was outright threatened by Boyd Grafmyre due to his rise at Eagles, Pat O'Day came out of the early sixties doing rock shows at the Spanish Castle. He was the Dick Clark of the NW and the hottest DJ on Seattle's KJR a.m. radio. Slick well dressed conservative. When the counter culture exploded in the sixtie's is when Grafmyre made his move capturing the hippie culture in Seattle. Pat O'Day was never in the counter culture scene. He had great appeal to conservative teenagers. He had more money and power than Boyd and ripped the rug out from under him to prevent him taking over Seattles rock scene on a large scale since the counter culture rock bands ended the grease period and took over. So O'day switches to counter culture bands to prevent the rise of Grafmyre and moves the concerts to the Seattle Center. Never liked Pat O'Day. What a schmuck. By 1970 Eagles shuts down, but Eagles will always be Seattle's greatest rock hall from the past. Got confused over Grafmyre and O'Day since they have been  off my mind over 40+ years.

Finally remembered the two other bands I saw at the Coliseum. John Hiseman and his group Colesseum, and The Soft Machine. Quit going to the Coliseum shows since the Seattle Police were doing pat searches looking for drugs, having to take off your shoes and empty your pockets.
In the 80's at the Bumbershoot  festivals, saw Mitch Ryder, Tina Turner(what a big ball of love), The Ventures, and my last concert I attended, Roy Orbison.

Whats really a gas is that the average cost of a ticket at Eagles back then to see all those great drummer's and bands was $3.75
The Eagles tour last year cost $200.00 a ticket. What a screw job. Their sitting on several hundred million dollars cash at their banks. Thats worse than Al Capone.

Yes concert tickets are much more these days and so is everything else like a cup of coffee .....but there really is no inflation at all. .....just ask the Federal Reserve and the wonks there that claim to be worried about too little inflation...after printing gazillions of fiat money.

There is going to be one almighty headache, possibly even free market OD and death after this current cheap money asset and stock market and everything party (bubble)...
